THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA - This site is dedicated to exposing the continuing Marxist Revolution in California and the all around massive stupidity of Socialists, Luddites, Communists, Fellow Travelers and of Liberalism in all of its ugly forms.

"It was a splendid population - for all the slow, sleepy, sluggish-brained sloths stayed at home - you never find that sort of people among pioneers - you cannot build pioneers out of that sort of material. It was that population that gave to California a name for getting up astounding enterprises and rushing them through with a magnificent dash and daring and a recklessness of cost or consequences, which she bears unto this day - and when she projects a new surprise the grave world smiles as usual and says, "Well, that is California all over."

Obama acts to seize private property in California drug war

Marxist Obama attacks Berkeley medical marijuana dispensary

Obama and Democrats at the Federal level try to steal the private property of legal businesses in California in the insane "war" on drugs.

BERKELEY -- Comrade Obama's Federal government filed a lawsuit targeting
the city's largest medical marijuana outlet and is aiming to seize the property
from its landlord.

The suit, filed May 2 in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, says Nahla
Droubi of Moraga, who is the landlord for Berkeley Patients Group, is breaking
federal drug laws by allowing the sale of marijuana and therefore is subject to
seizure of her property.

The suit comes after Berkeley Patients Group was forced to close its previous
location down the street on San Pablo Avenue last May when the landlord there
received a letter threatening seizure for the same reason. The letter also cited
the fact that it was too close to two nearby schools reports the Contra Costa Times.

It then moved down the street and reopened in December.

Sean Luse, chief operations officer for Berkeley Patients Group, which has
been doing business in the city since 1999, said he was surprised at the suit
because he did everything asked of him when he was forced to leave the last
location.

"We moved our previous location and moved 1,000 feet from any school, so
we're very surprised," Luse said.

The lawsuit against the Berkeley Patients Group landlord, in addition to citing federal drug laws, also mentions the proximity of two preschools in the neighborhood near the new location.

Luse said Berkeley Patients Group will join the lawsuit as a defendant and
stay in business as the saga unfolds.

"We look forward to our day in court," he said.

Last August, Droubi said she was not worried about having her property seized
when Berkeley Patients Group announced it would become her new tenant.

"Our property is not close to any school," she said at the time. "The
previous landlord had a very good experience with this group. He said they were
very organized and most important thing is they had no violations and great
security."

Droubi did not respond to calls seeking comment Tuesday afternoon, nor did a
spokesman for the U. S. attorney in San Francisco.

The lawsuit is similar to one filed last year against Harborside Health
Center in Oakland, the nation's largest medical marijuana dispensary. That
lawsuit has not yet been resolved.

Kris Hermes, spokesman for Americans for Safe Access which advocates for
medical marijuana with 50,000 members nationwide, said there have been about 20
dispensaries targeted in a similar fashion across California in the last couple
of years, but he did not know how many of the suits have been successful.

He said the U.S. attorney's office has sent hundreds of letters to landlords
threatening forfeiture "and hundreds have shut down as a result."

More recently he said a new round of threatening letters has recently gone to
landlords of dispensaries in San Francisco and San Jose.

"The Obama Administration has so far gotten away with claiming that they are
only targeting those in violation of state law," Hermes said. "Berkeley Patients
Group stands in direct contrast to that contention. It's patently false."

About Me

"Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night.
Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.
Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It is us. Only us.
Streets stank of fire. The void breathed hard on my heart, turning its illusions to ice, shattering them. Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world. Was Rorschach."

California Gold Rush (1848 - 1855)

This was a time that is hated with a deep and seething hate by all Socialists, Communists and Statists. During the Gold Rush common men and women sought their fortunes in a new world without the benefit of the wise and learned counsel of overeducated and worthless bureaucrats. People took the task of creating raw wealth into their own hands. No intellectuals were available to lecture the workers about the wonders of the eight hour day, worker's rights, unemployment insurance, workplace rules, "fairness" or early retirement. Intellectuals were neither wanted nor needed because intellectuals do not work for a living. The Intellectual Elite exists to tell everyone how smart they are and how everyone else is doing things wrong. Early California was a place for those who worked for a living.

Central Pacific Railroad

The Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) is the former name of the railroad network built between California and Utah that formed part of the "First Transcontinental Railroad". It was rapidly built between 1863 - 1869. The "Golden spike", connecting the western railroad to the Union Pacific Railroad at Promontory, Utah, was hammered on May 10, 1869. Coast-to-coast train travel in eight days became possible, replacing months-long sea voyages and lengthy, hazardous travel by wagon trains. This project would never be built today in the Luddite People's Republic. There would be endless delays, environmental impact reports, labor unions, lawyers, court battles and Government Drones blocking every move.

Building the Golden Gate Bridge (1933 - 1937)

Financed and built by California in a record four years. The bridge ranks as one of the great wonders of the world stimulating the economy and creating endless jobs and wealth. Today it would never be built.

The People's Republic of California today

The #1 goal of the all powerful Big Brother State is the Marxist re-distribution of the wealth to the Elite so it can be used to buy votes in the next election. Today jobs and wealth are opposed by the Luddite Socialists because they claim it creates an un-equal society. Modern Californians are living off everything that was built by their ancestors. New projects that might create wealth are furiously opposed by an endless stream of Luddite-Leftist interest groups.
